Background jobs?

[fritzblue]

First of all, lots of cool ideas here, thank you for sharing it with the world.

One common use case I'm not seeing a solution for in the roadmap yet (though I may have missed it): Are there plans to support cron jobs (scheduled tasks), background jobs, etc?

Things like: "At 5am, compute and send this daily report to all subscribers"

This would help performance by offloading computationally intensive tasks. It would also be useful for common scenarios from automating routine maintenance tasks to queueing up and performing long-running work in the background.

Any plans for supporting this?
